ds605-2 25 th feb 2005 ?2005 reg. no. 227 4001, england page 1 RF600T-EVAL smart radio evaluation kit ? hardware platform for radio comms development ? accepts various rf modules ? rs232 interface to pc ? supplied with rf600t smart radio controller ? performs all data encryption for reliable data comms. ? two telemetry i/o lines (addressed mode only) ? range testing ? target environment testing ? antenna evaluation the smart radio evaluation kit provides a hardwar e platform to enable fast development of a radio comms application. supplied as a pair of boards, each can accept a vari ety of rf modules including transmitters, receivers and transceivers, an rs232 port is also inco rporated for direct connection to a pc. the boards may be used for a wide range of tasks fr om simple rs232 data transmission to integrated system development and is the ideal platform for exploring the advantages of using the ?smart radio? range of ics and radio modules. this eliminates the need to constr uct hand-wired prototype boards, which are rarely successful in creating a valid environment for the development of radio systems. (prototyping board also contains large stray capacitance values which has a detrim ental effect on the rf connections). part number description package RF600T-EVALr1 rf eval kit kit contents ? two eval boards ? two rf600t comms controllers ? circuit diagrams ? ? two rs232 pc cables ? radio modules and antenna available separately.

ds605-2 25 th feb 2005 ?2005 reg. no. 227 4001, england page 4 RF600T-EVAL smart radio evaluation kit the circuit diagram and circuit board have been designed to both flow from one side to the other. the board may be split into the following sections ? radio modules ? trxq1 smart module ? rf600t encoder / decoder ? test interface. ? power supply. radio module section, several radio modules may be used; ? fm-rxq1-433 radio transceiver ? fm-rtfq1 radio transmitter ? fm-rrfq1 radio receiver ? fm-rtfq2 radio transmitter ? fm-rrfq2 radio receiver many other modules may also be used, so long as the pin out is the same. each of these radio modules may be used in c onjunction with the rf600t to provide part of a radio communications system (transmitting or receiv ing) or in conjunction with the fm-rxq1 as a radio transceiver system. rf600t this area enables the rf600t to be used, a comple te low power comms system can be used with the rf600t in conjunction with any of the radio m odules section above. in this area is also the option links to enable the user to change the set- up parameters for the rf600t or trxq1 radio transceiver module. trxq1 the trxq1 provides a stand-alone solution to lo w power rs232 radio transceiver system (fm- rxq1 & rf600t combined). this is a complete solution, which removes the need for the rf600t. test interface: this area provides the interfaces that are needed to communicate with a host pc using a max232 ic. there are two db9 connectors in this area, con1 is for us e with rf600t and trxq1 devices while the con2 connectors is used for the rf620 sm art radio modules. it is also the location for the standard learn procedure switch. power supply the board may be powered from; ? a pp3 battery for mobile use ? a standard 2.5 mm power jack socket, which will accept a 9-15 volt dc supply.
